Impact

BIG-IP

An attacker may use this vulnerability to cause a vCMP guest to
crash,resulting in a denial-of-service orgain privileged access to the
vCMP hypervisor host system. This vulnerability affects only hardware
platforms that are vCMP-capable and are provisioned for vCMP. For a
list of vCMP capable hardware platforms, refer to K14088: vCMP host
and compatible guest version matrix.
